Questioning the Big Bang Singularity: Time & Gravity

In summary, the Big Bang Singularity is a theoretical point that marks the beginning of the universe, occurring approximately 13.8 billion years ago. Time and gravity played a role in its expansion, and its existence cannot be directly observed. While there are other theories for the beginning of the universe, the Big Bang theory is currently the most widely accepted. Current research and advancements in understanding the Big Bang Singularity include studying the cosmic microwave background radiation, conducting experiments with particle accelerators, and exploring theories such as inflation and quantum gravity.

Time should have not have happened in infinite gravity of the Big bang Singularity.

Einsteins General relativity suggest that time could not exist in a gravity field that was infinite.

Thus, my question is how did the universe emerge from the Big Bang moment , if time and space did not yet exist?

Regards

Where do you get that the gravitational field was infinite at the time of the big bang?
 

Related to Questioning the Big Bang Singularity: Time & Gravity

1. What is the Big Bang Singularity?

The Big Bang Singularity is a theoretical point in time that marks the beginning of the universe. It is believed to have occurred approximately 13.8 billion years ago, when all matter and energy in the universe was concentrated into a single point of infinite density and temperature.

2. How does time and gravity play a role in the Big Bang Singularity?

According to the theory of general relativity, time and gravity are closely intertwined. As the universe began to expand from the Big Bang Singularity, time and space also began to expand. This expansion was driven by the force of gravity, which caused matter and energy to be pulled apart from each other.

3. Can we observe the Big Bang Singularity?

No, we cannot observe the Big Bang Singularity directly because it is a theoretical point in time. However, scientists can study the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is leftover radiation from the Big Bang, to gain insight into the early stages of the universe.

4. Is the Big Bang Singularity the only theory for the beginning of the universe?

No, there are other theories that have been proposed for the beginning of the universe, such as the Steady State theory and the Oscillating Universe theory. However, the Big Bang theory is currently the most widely accepted and supported by scientific evidence.

5. What are some current research and advancements in understanding the Big Bang Singularity?

Scientists are still actively researching and studying the Big Bang Singularity to gain a better understanding of the early universe. Some current advancements include studying the cosmic microwave background radiation, conducting experiments with particle accelerators, and exploring theories such as inflation and quantum gravity.
